It amuses me that people love to ram the enemy tank, even they are lighter weight. Worse, they are blocking my aim and die right after, giving the enemy a free barricade.

Also can't count how many times I accidentally shot someone just because they think it's funny to write in front of me when I am aiming. Seriously, unless I know my teammate has about 5s loading time, I would never advance in front of them after their shot. I just wish that become common sense among the pubby in WoT.

Remember that the Panther line starting from the Panther II and up have two weapons instead of one, each one effective in its intended range.

The first is the long 88, which as you may know by now is a great gun for its tier in mid and long range sniping.

The other? The Panther line is known for being about as hefty as the heavy tanks of other tiers, and starting from the Panther II, they have the engine power to go where they want quite swiftly. Connect the dots.

Yeah, the KV-1 is really not a Tier 5 vehicle. I personally think its a Tier 6. It is a very difficult nut to crack. My PzIV, with good penetration values, can sometimes bounce off shots from the side. Its pretty amazing, I tell ya.

It would be a ridiculously expensive experiment, but I wonder what sort of Tier I ninja-sniping fire hydrant you'd get out of an MS-1 with a 100% camo-trained crew, camo paint, camo net, coated optics, enhanced gun-laying drive, upgraded turret and radio, and the 45mm cannon.

I'm curious, but I have far better uses for 750 gold and a million credits.

But I soon discovered... when it comes to accuracy and reloading time, Russian guns just aren't up to par... my play style requires very accurate weapons, but I suppose I should change my play style to deal with Russian vehicles

It's a different playstyle. You have to get down and dirty and kick ass, taking choke points and hiding behind stuff. Close or medium range combat is what they're all about. For the IS series, they are powerful breakthrough tanks that excel at advancing while blowing things up with high amounts of damage.

Why the KV-1 is the most popular: It's the most familiar to the FPStards who know nothing but rushing out of base, hitting as many things as they can, and dying quick. The KV-1, while easy to deal with (I can defeat it with my T-25), can be annoying to fight with in close quarters, which is what FPStards and the Russian hordes (yes, the RU server is basically just zerg rushing at each other) do.

I actually love the T49 more due to that reason. Their gun isn't much different, but the speed makes it easy to confuse the enemy with my constantly flanking and scouting. I got most of my confederate medals from that tank alone.

You know, among the scouts, the one I hate to face the most is ELC AMX. Unless that thing is in my 100m range, there is no way I could hope to hit it. Not to mention their gun is the pain in the ass.

My main issue with using it to scout is the excruciatingly slow travel speed of its turret which make it difficult to defend yourself especially from other scouts or even just in close range where as at least in the wolverine its armour is a little more substantial.

Also the wolverine can be fitted with the derp 105mm howitzer

While on the subject of the ELC one managed to one hit kill my churchill-I the other night which promptly made me flip out and I just sold it out of frustration...

Aye, apparently playing my KV like a German sniper tank is just not the way...

Slow reload time, meh accuracy and a whole bunch of ungentlemanly activities...
